With lists you will be able to access contacts better in WhatsApp in the future.
A little over two weeks ago, WhatsApp rolled out favorites for contacts and groups.
Now another function is being tested to provide faster access to contacts. It may even be that WhatsApp wants to use the new function in other areas as well.
That’s why it’s important: With lists you can sort contacts into groups for even faster access and to save time.
Im Detail:
- The new feature integrates lists into WhatsApp.
- This allows you to create lists of people and groups.
- This makes it easier to select multiple people or groups.
The new feature is being tested in the latest WhatsApp beta for Android. According to WABetaInfo, this is version 2.24.12.7.

As usual, the new feature will be gradually rolled out to all beta testers.
Also possible for status updates
WhatsApp could also use the new list function in another area. So far, the options for making status updates available only to a certain group of contacts are limited.
Lists could allow you to make information available only to certain people. You would simply select a previously created list to include only those people.
Other functions, such as finding people in the chat list, are also conceivable.
But there is a small downside: The other options have not yet been officially confirmed. It is possible that it will never be made available in this form.
When will the update be released? An exact date has not yet been set. Lists are currently being tested in the beta version of WhatsApp. A release is likely in the next few weeks or months. The new function could appear a little later for iOS, as it is currently only being tested for Android.
